June snow, water and wine

Between yesterday and this morning, snow staged a counter-attack down to Park City (Other higher resorts, one valley away received eight inches). It’s not the first time the “Mr. Winter” tries these cool incursions as we get dressed for summer. The upside is that it provides us with badly needed water. We hadn’t seen a drop for the past fifteen days (yeah, I now keep a tally; my friend Denys Trombert from Essert-Romand inspired me to do it last year.) Since water is about to become as scarce a natural resource as oil in a not-so-distant future, better get used to liking H2O. Now, what has wine to do with snow and water? Here, in Utah we love snow and water because we are a desert state, and in our household we love wine too because we’re French!
